In Tiruchirapalli Town, the geographic
center of Tamilnadu State, there were only two Women's Colleges for Women
for over three decades. On account of (i) the increase in the percentage
of women seeking higher education, (ii) the demand for higher education
for girls from rural areas and (iii) the limited number of seats in the
one or two Women's Colleges in the neighbouring districts of Salem and
Thanjavur, there was a heavy rush for admission in the two Women's Colleges
of Tirchy.
To fulfil the long-felt need for another institution of higher
education for girls in the city, Reddy Educational Trust approached the
Government
of Tamilnadu with a request to start a Women's College in Tirchy in
order to impart education for Women of all communities and religions.
The TamilNadu Government was pleased to accord permission to the Trust
to start an Arts and Science College for Women as a self financing
institution as per G.O 1298 dated 1st October, 1984. Accordingly on
17th October ,1984, a day significant in many respect Cauvery College
for Women , is established by the Reddy Educational Trust and administered
by the College Council.
An institution is not just a social arrangement
with certain form and function. In order to survive, it must also have
a certain legitimacy
and meaning for its members, such that they are willing to put its
demand above their individual interest. In this regard, the College
is blessed with its 48 members who are enlightened and interested citizens
of Trichy District and who have philanthropic outlook with noble and
progressive ideals. Cauvery College for Women is a self-financing institution
and as such does not receive any financial aid from the Governement
for its recurring and non-recurring expenditure. It is maintained by
the munificence of Reddy Educational Trust, and also by the generosity
of like-minded people.
Cauvery College for women aims at ‘ Excellence in Education’ the
portals are open to many first generation learners and students from
rural areas to varied branches of study. The primary aim of this prestigious
institution is to lay more emphasis not only to develop the technical
skills of our students, but also to nuture professional competency,
self-Confidence, managerial abilities and entrepreneurial development.
To meet the needs of the present day, job oriented, socially relevant
and innovative courses like Social Work, Information Technology, Computer
Science, Physics, Microbiology, Mathematics, Business Administration,
Commerce & Food Service Management & Dietetics have been introduced
. These courses enable the students to develop their personal skills
for a prospective, meaningful employment.
